  • Description

    20-year-old Princess Mayamiko Zulu from Zambia is an avid youth leader determined to alleviate the plight of the needy in her community and beyond. The Founder of Build Africa Initiative tackles societal challenges by developing campaigns and initiatives aimed at eradicating core issues. The “Loving the Forgotten” Project impacted over 10,000 people in 500+ households across multiple communities with the provision of chlorine, reusable sanitary pads, bathing dishes, nappies, and new blankets. 400 children with special needs benefited from her Humming Bird Project’s free surgeries, wheelchairs, beds, and foodstuff. Her team developed the ‘Help a Family In Dire Need’ project and raised funds and provisions for families affected by heavy rainfalls in Zambia. She also distributed maize and soya beans to communities, reaching over 10,000 households. She trained 321 young leaders and entrepreneurs from Zambia through her Leadership Academy. Her zeal for educational excellence triggered “The Build Africa Academy” Project in 64 universities and 12 colleges through which she effectively engaged 30 young students in carrying out 500 projects in 150 African communities. Furthermore, she constructed four blocks of classrooms worth 6,000 USD for street children. She organized skills acquisition programs to empower women from the slums, training over 1,600 women in various vocations and helped some of them with start-up funding. Her Widows and Youth Empowerment Project helped 1,000 people become farmers. Ginger seeds were provided to about 150 widows and Maya facilitated the set-up of poultry businesses for 150 young people. Her NGO empowered 300 street children with a car wash business and sponsored 30 orphans to study at a nursing school. We applaud her selfless service to humanity and commitment to nation-building..
